In the push and pull of a contemporary first-world lifestyle, it’s easy to lose touch of the truths that support our willingness to open fully to our experiences. Journaling is one way of center ourselves on a foundation of empowered compassion. When journaling, we can reconnect with subtle but grounding insights that serve as beacons throughout the storms of life.

Today while journaling, remember that there are no unessential ingredients; remember that you will never be given more than you are able to handle; remember that each situation contains an opportunity to more fully explore, experience, and express creativity and insight. That’s it!
